Bookshelf Recommendations

@gdnrbob.  there you go making sense again !!! I agree, and good stands will cost way more than the Sound Anchors that the new 1ci use...

Just helped install and tune some One’s with sweet Nakamichi Stasis power.....fun and musical for not much scratch $$$$$$

...and just when I thought I’d narrowed this down. Will take a look at that recommendation as well. I’m all about approaching some high end, without taking out a 2nd mortgage. If my wife knew what I’ve got tied up in my preamp, I’d already been served papers...

Wouldn’t you know it: choice set of Vandersteen 1Ci’s currently on eBay, just waiting to be snapped up. Hmmm. Would those, however, be too much speaker for my space?

As mentioned at the outset, the room is only about 12’ x 12.’ While I realize that with “bookshelf” sized speakers there will be low end sacrifices—inclusion of a sub notwithstanding—a high quality speaker of that size, on stands: wouldn’t that make for a good setup?

And don't forget TOTEM!
Fabulous imaging and far better bass alignment than ls50s.
